网络教学平台使用的师资培动——香港理工大学的经验

面授和网上教学有机结合的整合式教学越来越成为高校教育和培训的主要模式。本文旨在介绍和分析香港理工大学教学发展中心（简称EDC）如何通过网上教学平台的功能,与面授教学结合起来,发挥面授教学和网上教学的各自优势,使教师培训更加有效。EDC的实践表明,在大学教师培训课程中,发挥网上教学的优势,能帮助学员弥补由于有限的面授教学产生的师生之间、学员和学员之间互动的不足。在网上学习中,通过互相的学习观摩和观念碰撞,能激发学员的学习兴趣,有效地促进学员之间进行探究性学习,同时,这种集体学习的方法,能促进在职教师之间的友好交往和学术交流。     

The historical context of science and education at the American Museum of Natural History

In this article I critically examine the historical context of science education in a natural history museum and its relevance to using museum resources to teach science today. I begin with a discussion of the historical display of race and its relevance to my practice of using the Museum’s resources to teach science. I continue with a critical review of the history of the education department in a natural history museum to demonstrate the historical constitution of current practices of the education department. Using sociocultural constructs around identity formation and transformation, I move to the present with a case study of a teacher who transforms the structure of science education in her classroom and school as a result of her identity transformation and association with a museum-based professional education program.

Mathematical biography and key rhetoric

The intention of this article is to consider the use of narrative and rhetorical inquiry as research methods. I construct a mathematical biography of one elementary teacher trainee, Sirpa, who had performed well in her advanced mathematics course in upper secondary school. I describe her development as a mathematics teacher during teacher education from her second-year methods course and teaching practice to fourth-year teaching practice. Narrative inquiry is more than a case study: Sirpa’s mathematical biography is a story that describes how she constructs her mathematical identity. I also analysed the key rhetoric that Sirpa used in her talk, key rhetoric here referring to the strategy by which she constructed continuity and coherence.     

Communicating feedback in teaching practice supervision in a learning-oriented field experience assessment framework

This article seeks to understand the ways in which feedback was communicated in post-observation conferences in teaching practice supervision within the learning-oriented field experience assessment (LOFEA) framework. 32 post-observation conferences between 21 pairs of supervisors and participants of in-service teacher education programmes, and interviews with supervisors and participants were analyzed, with findings revealed in four themes:

1.

The distribution of content and nature of feedback in post-observation conferences;     

加州大学的治理变革及启示

从控制走向协调,以治理代替管理,既是世界高等教育改革的趋势,也是美国公立大学一直努力的方向,而加州大学则是将这种努力践行得较为彻底的一个成功典范.这种努力具体表现为加州大学一方面通过与政府签订协约、引入市场机制、寻求校外群体的支持等形式来弱化政府的管制色彩,另一方面又充分发挥董事会、学术委员会等治理机构的协调作用,为大学自治提供一系列的缓冲与保护.     

浅析政治课教师如何适应高中新课程改革

目前所进行的高中新课程改革,从各方面来看,都可以称为是中国基础教育的革命。它从教材制定、课程设置、课堂教学、教学目标、教学评价等诸多方面都进行了革新。不仅要改变学生的学习模式,而且也将改变教师传统的教育教学模式。通过分析高中思想政治课新课程改革的要求,从转变观念、更新知识储备、实施有效教学策略等方面,提出高中政治课教师如何适应新课程改革的几点建议。     

从“同一性自我”到“异质性他者”——谈教师学生观的跃迁

教师的学生观影响着师生间交往、沟通、理解的程度。列维纳斯的＂异质性他者＂伦理观反对＂自我的同一性＂,强调＂他者的异质性＂。教师需要摆脱＂自我同一性＂的学生观,关注作为＂异质性他者＂的学生,从而有利于教师更深层理解教育本质并重视自我反思。     

美国大学“四A”原则及其对我国大学建设的启示

美国大学奉行的大学自治(academic autonomy)、学术自由(academic freedom)、学术中立(academic neutrality)和社会责任(accountability)四A原则,是美国大学执掌当今世界高等教育之牛耳的重要法宝。对照这一原则,目前我国大学建设中存在着大学自治虚化、学术权力弱化和社会责任淡化现象。解决这些问题,一要深化教育体制改革,落实大学自治权;二要加强大学制度建设和文化建设,保证学术自由权;三要处理好社会问责与大学自治、学术自由的关系,做到既问责又尊重。     

Unpacking teachers’ intentions to integrate technology: A meta-analysis

The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is a key model describing teachers' intentions to use technology. This meta-analysis clarifies some of the contradictory findings surrounding the relations within the TAM for a sample of 45 studies comprising 300 correlations. We evaluate the overall fit of the TAM and its structural parameters, and quantify the between-sample variation through meta-analytic structural equation modeling. The TAM fitted the data well, and all structural parameters were statistically significant. On average, the TAM variables explained 39.2% of the variance in teachers' intentions to use technology. Several sample, measurement, and publication characteristics, including teachers’ experience and the representation of the TAM variables, moderated the relations within the TAM. Overall, the TAM represents a valid model explaining technology acceptance—however, the degree of explanation and the relative importance of predictors vary across samples. Implications for further research, in particular the generalizability of the TAM, are discussed.
